Tardy for the Party

Ok granted I took a while to jump on the whole magnetic-nail-polish-band-wagon but all I kept thinking is how one dimensional this polish would be. I mean, how many ways can you really wear wave polish?! After going back and forth in my own head I decided I don't care, I have lots of one hit wonders in my polish bin so what's one more?! Here I have Sally Hansen's Magnetic Nail Polish- Emerald Green and plan to purchase nail inc.'s-Fishnet Magnetic Polish- Soho (chrome) and Star Magnetic Polish- "The Strand" (navy). ::glee:: The results for Sally Hansen:

In hind sight I realize I should have posted how it looks before the "wave"; it looks like any other metallic polish, even a bit dull. Once you use the magnet though you don't even need a top coat! even though I absolutely used Seche Vite because I want this look to last. 

31 Day Challenge, Day Four: Green

Due to technical difficulties I've had a hard time posting ::sigh:: who knew how much we all depend on technology! Anywhoo here I used Essie-"Matte About You" to create this look.

Tape Me Up

I decided to start if the new year with some tape manicures, LOVE tape manis! The first was actually inspired by my boyfriend, who although he makes fun of nail obsession he does ask me questions that force me to see my colors differently- sometimes less is more. My second look is inspired by packapunchpolish, I just LOVED this manicure the moment I saw it.

Look #1
What I used:

Essie- "Angora Cardi"
Nails Inc. - "Black Taxi"

Look #2

What I Used:

"High Hopes", "Grape Pop", "Four Leaf Clover", "Heli-Yum", & OPI- "Havana Dreams"
the Glitter used but not shown is OPI- "Spark-Tacular! Top Coat"

Using nail tape to create the boxes and then fill them in randomly did take time, but it was definitely worth it!

Stamping Leaves a Great First Impression!

Every time I think I have a favorite nail design style I discover something new and decide instantly that THIS must be the greatest thing ever. At least until tomorrow when I see something else that grabs my attention. Thats what happened with nail stamping, so many options, so easily done and only so many fingers!
